We are going to start a new project with a Freescale iMX6, the RTOS is a linux and we would like to know if is possible to compile the applications with the arm compiler or is only possible to make them with the gnu compiler.
We have the DSTREAM to debug and we would like to know if we can use it or it's necessary to use the gdbserver.
Thanks.
Josep.
You should be able to use DSTREAM. It would depend on what you are trying to achieve. Also, you would have to understand the debug architecture of the device you are using to understand what capabilities it might have.

Thanks for your answer.
We understand that the DSTRAEM is useful to debug the bare-metal applications, debug the linux rtos or drivers but it provides no advantage to debug the apllications are running on the linux ?
Best regards.
That's correct. To debug Linux applications, you can still use DS-5 Debugger, but it would be a connection via gdbserver.
